Step by step
What's Involved in Hiring a Bathroom Fitting
A bathroom renovation follows a clear sequence from strip-out to finishing, and a good fitter will walk you through every stage before work begins.
Design and planning
The fitter visits to measure up, discuss your layout preferences, and identify any plumbing or structural constraints. They will advise on what is achievable within your budget and help you choose a suite, tiles, and fittings. This is the time to finalise the spec before ordering materials.
Strip-out of the old bathroom
The existing suite, tiles, and any damaged plasterwork are removed and disposed of. The fitter caps off the water and waste pipes, and the room is cleared back to bare walls and floor ready for the new installation.
First fix plumbing and electrics
Pipework and waste runs are repositioned to suit the new layout. Any new electrical work such as extractor fans, downlights, or heated towel rail wiring is done at this stage. Walls are boarded with moisture-resistant plasterboard if needed.
Tiling and waterproofing
Walls and floors are tiled once the plumbing is in place. Wet areas around the shower and bath are waterproofed with tanking membrane before tiling. The tiler works around pipe outlets and fittings, leaving clean cutouts for everything to connect up.
Second fix and suite fitting
The bath, shower, toilet, and basin are fitted and connected to the plumbing. Taps, shower valves, towel rails, and accessories are all installed. Silicone sealant is applied around all edges where sanitaryware meets the tiles.
Snagging and handover
The fitter does a final check of everything — testing all taps, drains, and the shower for leaks, checking the toilet flushes properly, and touching up any grout or sealant. They walk you through the finished bathroom and address any snags before signing off.
